Abstract (en)

A clutch driven plate has a central hub (10) for connection to an associated transmission input shaft rotatable about a first axis (G1), and an outer annular friction member (11) supported from the hub for clamping against an associated flywheel (F) rotatable about a second axis (F1). The friction member (11) is capable of limited rotation relative to the hub (10) against the action of a damping means (16) to damp torsional vibrations which occur during use of the driven plate. The hub is also radially and axially displaceable relative to the outer annular friction member to accommodate angular and translatory misalignment of the first (G1) and second (F1) axes. The radial displacement of the hub relative to the annular friction member is controlled by radial deflection of first portions (30) of a plastics washer (19) which surrounds the hub (10) and is located radially between the hub (10) and the friction member (11).
